Bolts From The Blue
Your source for all Chargers and NFL news from around the web.
Good morning, Chargers fans!
What a way to wake up on a Friday morning! And just before the holidays, too!
The Bolts gave their fan base an early Christmas present by beating the Broncos 34-27 on Thursday night, completing a season sweep of their divisional rival for the first time since the 2010 season. Los Angeles is now 9-6 with two more games to go against the Patriots (3-11) and Raiders (2-13). An 11-6 season is really on the table this year in a season many (including myself) believed was the first of a two-year retool under the new regime.
So enjoy the day, enjoy the weekend, and feel free to continue to discussion from last night in the comments below!
And now for today’s links.
